What is XML?

XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language. It is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. XML is often used for storing and transporting data.

Features of XML

  • Self-Descriptive: XML tags are not predefined, unlike HTML.
  • Extensible: You can create your own tags.
  • Human-readable: It is easy for humans to read and write.
  • Machine-readable: It is easy for machines to parse and generate.
